The biometric awareness training platform began as an idea between three people on opposite sides of the country. The patent issued four years later. Vision Pro made it real.
ABOUT BAM
Three inventors. One closed loop.
The provisional was filed on September 2, 2020. The full patent application followed on August 31, 2021. The patent was granted October 8, 2024 after 619 days of disclaimer-period adjustment.
We waited because the hardware was not there yet. The patent described a closed loop — tracking, evaluation, status indication, adaptive content — that required a spatial display anchored to live biometric data, an AI capable of real-time conversational adaptation, and a wearable that streamed continuous physiology.
Then Apple Vision Pro shipped. Then OpenAI Realtime API matured. Then Apple Watch became a serious continuous-physiology platform.
BAM is what the patent looks like when the hardware finally catches up.

What we believe
Your body knows things your mind has not caught up to yet.
Heart rate climbs before you consciously feel anxious. Breath shortens before you notice tension. Awareness of those signals is a skill — and like any skill, it can be trained.
Privacy is not optional.
Biometric data is the most personal data there is. BAM holds none of it on our servers. No accounts. No tracking. No advertising. Read our policy.
Wellness apps should not be designed for engagement.
Streaks, push notifications, daily quotas — these patterns belong in social media, not in tools for nervous-system regulation. BAM sessions are 5–15 minutes, end with a recap, and let you go.
The hardware finally caught up.
We held this patent because the loop we described needed spatial display, real-time AI, and continuous physiology — three things that did not exist on a single platform until Apple Vision Pro.
